57. Heart palpitations
When Ruohua followed Concubine Ying to the palace, everyone had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Ruohua and Concubine Ying entered, many people stood up and saluted one after another.
Ruohua was led by Concubine Ying and brought all the way to the main seat, letting Ruohua sit beside her. The two of them looked extraordinarily harmonious, and Concubine Ying looked at Ruohua with her eyes, like a grandmother looking at her granddaughter.
"Today, Princess Gulun entered the palace to see a few of our sisters, and there is nothing to entertain in this palace. Everyone didn't speak, and Concubine Ying spoke alone.
"That's a big welcome." Concubine Fang smiled and groaned, and immediately after Concubine Ying's voice fell, she said.
Ruohua looked at the people below, most of them had been seen by himself, and Shoukang Palace was particularly lively today, "Thank you." I have been idle for the past few days, so I want to go into the palace to see a few concubines and do my best to do my meager part. ”
"In your generation, you are a filial one." Concubine Ying touched the back of Ruohua's hand. Although Concubine Ying is old, her hands are still white, but she is scary thin.
"Concubine Ying is too noble." Ruohua smiled faintly, and then looked at everyone present. Most of them are known by themselves, and some may not know much, but they also have some impressions.
"It's not that this palace is falsely praised, all these years, I have seen it in my eyes." Concubine Ying had to admit that the original owner was indeed a filial person, although her temperament was not pleasant, but she was also really well-behaved.
Ruohua naturally didn't say anything, and looked up at the people below, with a smile on his face, and he couldn't find fault with it.
Ruohua also knows that a little mistake is the most fatal. Ruohua turned his head and found that Twilight Qi and Duqin were standing next to Ruohua, with their heads down, and they didn't dare to speak in a low voice, let alone whisper.
Indeed, they are afraid that they have never seen such scenes, but since they have become their own people, they have to see these scenes.
"Concubine Ying is right." Concubine Fang smiled, and then looked at Ruohua as well, "How is the princess doing these days?" It's rare to enter the palace, and it's right to go home and see. ”
"It's not bad, with the help of the imperial aunt, it saves a lot of worry." Ruohua glanced at the concubine in the corner, and the corners of her mouth raised a faint arc.
"Oh? Gu Lun and Princess Hyo? When Concubine Ying heard this, her face did not change at all, and she didn't see any clues in her face, she seemed to have just subconsciously read it, making people wonder whether to answer or not.
Ruohua sat next to Concubine Ying, but she was not in a hurry, and smiled at Concubine Ying, "Ruohua went back to the palace, there are some things that I don't understand, but fortunately, the imperial aunt is outside the palace, and she can also teach Ruohua, Ruohua is also very happy." ”
"And Princess Xiao she...... Outside the palace, how is everything doing? "Concubine Xuan, who has been sitting in the corner without speaking, heard that Gu Lun and Princess Xiao also asked, with sincerity in her eyes.
Ruohua also knew that this was just a reaction to being a mother, but she didn't say much, "The imperial aunt has been in good health these days, and the two of them came to Ruohua Mansion to visit a few days ago, but they also raised their eyebrows together." ”
"It is well known that Princess Xiao and the concubine have a harmonious relationship." Concubine Ying looked at Ruohua with a smile, and it seemed that she had expected such an answer a long time ago.
"Yes, it's also enviable." Concubine Fang seemed to be very touched, and shook her head with a smile.
The few women present, except for Ruohua, all fell into deep thought. They are all experienced women, but they are all married to the emperor's family, which is particularly regrettable, but they are all in the palace.
However, those present are all from the previous dynasty, and it is already very fortunate to be able to live to the present dynasty and still have a place. In any case, Ruohua is respectful and wary of these people.
"I don't know what Princess Gulun thinks?" Concubine Xuan doesn't seem to be as arrogant as she remembered before, and now she no longer has the capital to be arrogant.
She looked at Ruohua as if she was looking at her junior, looking very seriously, with a faint sadness in her eyes.
It's like seeing others and sighing about your own life, but you don't think it's as good as ever. Ruohua looked up at Concubine Ying beside her, but found that the other party was also looking at her.
When Concubine Ying saw her turn her head, she just smiled and didn't say anything. The scene was a little cold for a while, and the atmosphere became heavy.
"Today's good day for Princess Gulun to return to the palace, why don't you come to see us of the older generation, what are you doing like this?" Seeing that the scene was deadlocked for a while, Concubine Fang made a peacemaker again and spoke.
"Alas, when people are old, they always look at their juniors and remember the mistakes they made back then, and the stupid things they did are as if they have been opened, and they can no longer be closed, like a trickle." Concubine Ying glanced at Concubine Fang, and knew that she didn't want to embarrass the people present, but she only sighed a few words.
"Sister Ying, my sister has prepared a few pastries, which are also common, and I took them out to offer them ugly, so that the big guys can taste them." Concubine Fang saw that Concubine Ying had no opinion, and then smiled.
"Where's Sister Wan?" Concubine Ying didn't mind, but asked.
As soon as the words fell, Concubine Wan's voice rang out, as if she was in a hurry, "Alas, my sister is late." ”
"Alas, now Cao Cao Cao has arrived."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the whole hall suddenly became a lot more lively, but the mood outside did not change because of this, but became more and more heavy.
Although she doesn't live in the palace now, these intrigues in the palace may also hook her one day. But she can't resist, this is her knocking out her teeth and having to swallow it, this is the invisible survival rule of this era.
Ruohua felt how cruel it was more than once, but he didn't have the power to change it for himself. A deep palpitation accompanied by weakness spread and wrapped around the heart.
Ruohua looked at the people in front of her, and seemed to be happy, who knows how many people are fighting openly and secretly in private, she can't say.
Ruohua couldn't help but raise her head and smile bitterly, the bitterness was extremely shallow, and she was afraid that people who had been observing her might not be able to see it.
She couldn't help but think that there seemed to be people in this world who could see through her, and even more so who couldn't understand her. She suddenly remembered the slender that had not yet been found, and the case that seemed to have disappeared, and suddenly her heart palpitated one after another.
"Princess Gulun, what's wrong? Why don't you speak? When Concubine Wan found herself in, Ruohua didn't speak, and almost thought that Ruohua didn't feel very good about herself, but she remembered that there was no deep hatred between herself and Ruohua, and it was not aimed at herself, so she couldn't help asking.
"I was distracted just now, is there something wrong with Concubine Wan's name Ruohua?" Ruohua then realized that he was distracted, and his mind was completely distracted. She was not used to this sudden reaction for a while, so she had to smile awkwardly.
"It's nothing, it's just that it's a little strange to see that the princess suddenly doesn't speak." When Concubine Wan saw that Ruohua seemed to be really distracted, she was also relieved, so she also smiled.
Ruohua also guessed that this was mostly a test of Concubine Wan's attitude towards herself, so she had no choice but to laugh.
"To be honest, these days, there is a lot of chaos in the Jingshi, and you should be careful." Concubine Ying seemed to really regard Ruohua as her granddaughter, and suddenly instructed, "Many servants and maids of princes and nobles have been killed inexplicably, and there are also small servants, you can pay attention." ”
"A few days ago, Ruohua Mansion was also taken captive." Ruohua listened to what Concubine Ying said, as if she knew something, and hurriedly asked.
"Oh? You also lost one in the house? Is there a whereabouts? "Concubine Ying is a little strange, other mansions are directly killed, but if this is on the Huafu mansion, it is only taken away, and there is no one alive or dead, which is more suspicious.
"I have a rough idea, that maid has been with Ruohua for many years, but she has asked a lot of people to find it, but there is no result, only a few suspicious places." Ruohua looked at Concubine Ying's concerned look, swallowed the words that were originally hidden, and then said.
"This ......" Concubine Fang also heard a little, and was close to Concubine Ying and Ruohua, so she also came over and heard these two sentences, and looked up at Ruohua with some surprise, "There is such a thing?" Can't find it? ”
"I didn't find it." Ruohua and Concubine Ying's conversation was not loud, and it was only enough for Concubine Fang to hear it, Ruohua was not surprised, and replied.
Concubine Ying sighed, "Then you can only find those few." ”
"Which ones? Which ones are they? Ruohua couldn't help but ask, and then found out that her language was reckless, and then said, "Ruohua is reckless, and I ask Concubine Ying to forgive me." ”
"I've also seen your maid, she is a good girl, and she has been with you for all these years, and it is inevitable that she will have a deep relationship." Seeing Ruohua's cautious appearance, Concubine Ying couldn't help but smile.
"Actually, it's nothing more than Yantang and Jiangge, these two, Jiangge is a little better, Yantang is notoriously hard to find." Concubine Ying sighed a little, but she didn't expect that one day she would have to talk to Ruohua about this, "It's better for you to go to Jiangge, someone will help you." ”
Ruohua raised her head violently, she was still a little calm, but when she heard Concubine Ying's words, she was a little panicked for a while. In Concubine Ying's words, it is clear that she knows her life experience, but should such an unfathomable person be believed?
Ruohua didn't know what to do.
She suddenly felt that the people she had come into contact with before were far less scheming or city government than the few women in front of her who seemed to be amiable and seemed to be harmonious.
"It seems that the princess doesn't know, no wonder, your generation has not heard much, these two names are really thunderous in the ears of our generation." Concubine Fang smiled, but Ruohua always felt that her expression, which originally looked dignified and demure, suddenly became extremely terrifying.
The powerlessness that welled up from the bottom of my heart filled my heart and spread.
